We are thrilled to announce the birth of our daughter, Brynn Kathryn Moody. She was born at 1am on Thursday, June 4, 2015 weighing 7 lbs 6 oz and measuring 20 inches in length. Brynn’s middle name is for my mom, Kathryn Renee. All of us are excited to finally have Baby Sister in our… Read More She’s Here!
My two little mailmen delivered cards to me this morning. Silas chose a Superman card for me (because, as you know, I love all things Superman). He drew a picture of me and a ninja climbing into a city. I’m glad Silas has recognized my superpowers. Cooper’s card, on the other hand, had some cute little… Read More Mommy’s Day
It happened! We got our first stitches last night. Stephen and Cooper were at home while Silas and I attended Kids4Truth at church. Cooper ran head long into our padded ottoman and still managed to score a gash above his right eyebrow. It bled a lot, but once Stephen cleaned it up and gave Coop… Read More First Stitches
We are happy to announce that Baby Moody #3 is expected June 12, 2015! God is a gracious God to bless us with this third treasure. This picture is neither a gender announcement nor a name announcement, but it is the way I announced our baby to Stephen. This baby is yet another reminder of… Read More Baby Moody #3
Both of my boys are undeserved gifts from God. Both of my boys bring me joy and both of them teach me more of God’s grace. But, while Silas is my Joy Baby, Cooper is my Grace Baby. Cooper’s entrance into our family was admittedly rough for me. His birth was fast and complication free, but… Read More My Grace Baby
On this day when we celebrate motherhood, I thought I would share one of my favorite lullabies. In fact, it was the first lullaby I sang to Cooper after his birth. Not only is this lullaby special, but its author is very special–she’s my closest friend, Rebekah Pringle. Her selfless, thoughtful love for me and… Read More A Mother’s Day Lullaby
A friend once told me that she calls her children her “joy babies.” Children are treasures, and gifts from God. When God gave us Silas, so much joy entered our lives. What a thrill to find out we were pregnant, and announce it to Stephen. We were blessed to tell our parents and grandparents about… Read More My Joy Baby
Mothering tiny people often leaves little or no time for spiritual nourishment or personal growth. Nap time is a precious commodity that I can spend only so many ways. There are cleaning priorities (mopping the floors or vacuuming the car) that are best done when the boys are safely otherwise occupied. There are personal priorities… Read More A Mommy Solution
We’ve decided that Silas is a verb and Cooper is a noun. What do we mean? Silas is, and always has been, constant action–a verb. He really wasn’t a cuddly baby, and “sitting on the couch with him” as a toddler meant that we sat on the couch and he crawled all over us. Silas… Read More My Little Parts of Speech
This month I’m trying something new–a book club on Facebook. I miss the book club I was privileged to be part of in Indiana. We would read one book a month and then get together to talk about it. I loved that the first question we were asked was, “What did you like about the… Read More Online Book Club
